Kellen Moore was a key factor in Dak Prescott’s rapid rise to leader of the Dallas Cowboys. After his departure from Texas, the coach has nothing but praise for the quarterback.

After eight years, Kellen Moore has left the Dallas Cowboys to join the Los Angeles Chargers. The 34-year-old was first quarterback with “America’s Team”, then quarterbacks coach for a year and most recently offensive coordinator. And he leaves as a big fan of Dak Prescott, whose first steps in the NFL Moore was able to experience first-hand and help shape.

Even if the Texans’ signal caller sometimes makes their fans despair with the clearly too frequent interceptions, a euphoria has arisen again around the most valuable sports team in the world since his arrival. For Moore, that’s no wonder.

Moore praises Prescott as “best leader “

On “Fox” reporter Peter Schrager’s podcast “The Season with Peter Schrager,” he went out of his way to eulogize the 29-year-old, who entered the NFL in 2016. “I think (he’s) just the best leader I’ve ever seen, player, coach or anything,” Moore praised.

But that’s not all: “His ability to come together with a team in all areas is rare and I’ve never seen that before. His work ethic, his direction, he’s incredible.” Prescott, he said, has “a phenomenal manner. “

Even though the two won’t be on the same side in the future, Moore will continue to root for his long-time companion. “He’s certainly a kid you’ll always root for. “

Moore to work with Herbert in future

These words and phrases will go down like oil with Prescott. And maybe Justin Herbert is listening very closely too. The 25-year-old, who was also hyped early on, is Moore’s new protégé. He, too, has already made a number of interceptions, but often makes up for them with his explosive and deep throws into the arms of the receivers. After three seasons, Herbert has already covered more than 14,000 yards through the air. An unbelievable value!

But whether the sixth pick of the 2020 draft is as capable a leader as Prescott, Moore has yet to find out. But who knows: Maybe it won’t be that long before Herbert can also enjoy a eulogy from his offensive coordinator.

“He’s the best leader I’ve ever been around. Player or coach or…anything.”
